were
classified as belonging to the Hound
Group. Of the dogs in the Hound
Group,
3/10
were English Foxhounds.
What fraction of the dogs at the show
were English Foxhounds?

Answer 1

so, let's say that all the dogs had a number of x.

then 1/12 x were the Hound Group dogs.

then, out of the Hound Group,, that is 1/12 x, 3/10 were English Foxhounds.

For this, we need to multiply the fractions:

$\frac{1}{12}x* \frac{3}{10} = \frac{3}{120}x =\frac{1}{40}x$

so of all the dogs at the show, the English Foxhunds were a 1/40 fraction,  

Answer 2

(1/12)* (3/10)= 1/40

Final answer: 1/40 of the dogs at the show were English Foxhounds.

Hope this would help~
